Just spoke to DeKalb Watershed Management…there’s a water main break on Superior Avenue north of Scott Boulevard. Not sure which streets are affected but we have no water here on Ferndale Drive.
No news on how long it will be until water is restored.

Uh-oh. No water on Williow and suddenly everyone in the family has to go to the bathroom.
Earlier today, I saw a watershed crew digging around the hydrant at Superior and Willow. Coincidence?
Don – there are no accidents.
Yeah, I talked to the crew. Digging was done to determine extent of problem with sewage line beneath water line. Sewage line crushed by natural causes/settling, so both it and water line are being replaced. Sewage line replaced by approx 8pm, water to be replaced ASAP tonight. Need to determine whether we’re headed for boil-water advisory when water restored.
Still no water as of 6:30 am Thursday. Sigh.
Still no water at 10:15. Guy I talked to said maybe this evening. Why isn[‘t anyone making a bigger deal of this. Other water main breaks had news trucks and city emails. What are we watery chopped liver?
Husband says he talked to DeKalb County Watershed Mgmt. and they told him “maybe 20 minutes, we really don’t know.” Oy vey.
Superior Ave blocked between Scott and N Decatur as of an hour ago.
2pm – We have water! It’s brown, but it’s there!
3:30 – aaaaaand… The water is gone again.
Water is brown in Tuxworth Springs at 10 p.m. Thurs
